Entity Table Pattern Most pages follow a 3-file pattern per entity type inside `pages//`: ``` -table-config.resolver.ts — Column definitions, actions, component wiring .component.ts + .html — Entity detail form (extends EntityComponent) -tabs.component.ts + .html — Additional detail tabs (relations, attributes, events, etc.) ``` **Framework files** (in `home/components/entity/`): - `entities-table.component.ts` — The generic table component. Renders columns, actions, pagination from config. - `entity-details-page.component.ts` — Full-page entity details with tabs. - `entity-details-panel.component.ts` — Slide-out drawer panel for entity details. - `entity.component.ts` — Abstract base directive all entity forms extend. - `entities-table-config.models.ts` — TypeScript interfaces for table configuration. **Resolver structure** — each resolver returns an `EntityTableConfig` with: - `entityType` — enum value (e.g., `EntityType.DEVICE`) - `columns` — array of column definitions (header key, cell property/template, width) - `cellActionDescriptors` — per-row action buttons - `groupActionDescriptors` — bulk-selection action buttons - `headerActionDescriptors` — toolbar action buttons (add, import) - `entityComponent` — reference to the detail form component class - `entityTabsComponent` — reference to the tabs component class - `addDialogComponent` — optional dialog for add flow (e.g., `DeviceWizardDialogComponent`) ### All Table Config Resolvers | Resolver | Entity Type | Source Dir | Entity Component | Tabs Component | |----------|-------------|-----------|------------------|----------------| | `TenantsTableConfigResolver` | TENANT | `tenant/` | `TenantComponent` | `TenantTabsComponent` | | `TenantProfilesTableConfigResolver` | TENANT_PROFILE | `tenant-profile/` | `TenantProfileComponent` | `TenantProfileTabsComponent` | | `DevicesTableConfigResolver` | DEVICE | `device/` | `DeviceComponent` | `DeviceTabsComponent` | | `DeviceProfilesTableConfigResolver` | DEVICE_PROFILE | `device-profile/` | `DeviceProfileComponent` | `DeviceProfileTabsComponent` | | `AssetsTableConfigResolver` | ASSET | `asset/` | `AssetComponent` | `AssetTabsComponent` | | `AssetProfilesTableConfigResolver` | ASSET_PROFILE | `asset-profile/` | `AssetProfileComponent` | `AssetProfileTabsComponent` | | `EntityViewsTableConfigResolver` | ENTITY_VIEW | `entity-view/` | `EntityViewComponent` | `EntityViewTabsComponent` | | `CustomersTableConfigResolver` | CUSTOMER | `customer/` | `CustomerComponent` | `CustomerTabsComponent` | | `UsersTableConfigResolver` | USER | `user/` | `UserComponent` | `UserTabsComponent` | | `DashboardsTableConfigResolver` | DASHBOARD | `dashboard/` | `DashboardFormComponent` | `DashboardTabsComponent` | | `EdgesTableConfigResolver` | EDGE | `edge/` | `EdgeComponent` | `EdgeTabsComponent` | | `RuleChainsTableConfigResolver` | RULE_CHAIN | `rulechain/` | `RuleChainComponent` | `RuleChainTabsComponent` | | `OtaUpdateTableConfigResolve` | OTA_PACKAGE | `ota-update/` | `OtaUpdateComponent` | `OtaUpdateTabsComponent` | | `CalculatedFieldsTableConfigResolver` | CALCULATED_FIELD | `calculated-fields/` (config in `home/components/calculated-fields/`) | `CalculatedFieldComponent` | `CalculatedFieldsTabsComponent` | | `WidgetTypesTableConfigResolver` | WIDGETS_BUNDLE | `widget/` | `WidgetTypeComponent` | `WidgetTypeTabsComponent` | | `WidgetsBundlesTableConfigResolver` | WIDGETS_BUNDLE | `widget/` | `WidgetsBundleComponent` | `WidgetsBundleTabsComponent` | | `ResourcesLibraryTableConfigResolver` | TB_RESOURCE | `admin/` | `ResourcesLibraryComponent` | `ResourceLibraryTabsComponent` | | `JsLibraryTableConfigResolver` | TB_RESOURCE | `admin/` | `JsResourceComponent` | `ResourceTabsComponent` | | `QueuesTableConfigResolver` | QUEUE | `admin/queue/` | `QueueComponent` | — | | `AiModelsTableConfigResolver` | AI_MODEL | `ai-model/` | — | — | | `ClientsTableConfigResolver` | OAUTH2_CLIENT | `admin/oauth2/clients/` | `ClientComponent` | — | | `InboxTableConfigResolver` | NOTIFICATION | `notification/inbox/` | — (dialog) | — | | `SentTableConfigResolver` | NOTIFICATION_REQUEST | `notification/sent/` | — (dialog) | — | | `RecipientTableConfigResolver` | NOTIFICATION_TARGET | `notification/recipient/` | — (dialog) | — | | `TemplateTableConfigResolver` | NOTIFICATION_TEMPLATE | `notification/template/` | — (dialog) | — | | `RuleTableConfigResolver` | NOTIFICATION_RULE | `notification/rule/` | — (dialog) | — | | `MobileAppTableConfigResolver` | MOBILE_APP | `mobile/applications/` | `MobileAppComponent` | — | | `MobileBundleTableConfigResolver` | MOBILE_BUNDLE | `mobile/bundes/` | — | — | | `AlarmRulesTableConfigResolver` | CALCULATED_FIELD | `alarm/` (config in `home/components/alarm-rules/`) | — | — | | `DomainTableConfigResolver` | DOMAIN | `admin/oauth2/domains/` | `DomainComponent` | — | --- ## 4.

Angular Material DOM Patterns **No `data-testid` attributes** — selectors must use Angular Material structure, `formControlName`, `matColumnDef`, labels, roles, and classes. ### Login Form ```html ``` Key selectors: `#username-input`, `#password-input`, `button[type="submit"]`. ### Main Layout ```html ``` Key selectors: `mat-sidenav#sidenav`, `button#main`, `tb-breadcrumb`, `tb-user-menu`. ### Entity Table ```html
``` Key selectors: `table[mat-table]`, `mat-row`, `mat-cell`, `mat-paginator`, `[matColumnDef="select"]`, `[matColumnDef="actions"]`. Note: the search input uses Angular template ref `#searchInput` (not an HTML `id`); target it via `.tb-entity-table mat-toolbar input[matInput]` in the search toolbar context. ### Entity Details Page ```html
``` Key selectors: `mat-toolbar.details-toolbar`, `button[mat-fab][color="accent"]`, `mat-tab-group`, `mat-tab`. ### Details Panel (Slide-Out Drawer) ```html
``` ### Entity Detail Form (inside a tab) ```html
``` Key selectors: `input[formControlName="name"]`, `mat-slide-toggle[formControlName="..."]`, `textarea[formControlName="description"]`. ### Dialog ```html

``` Key selectors: `[mat-dialog-content]`, `[mat-dialog-actions]`, `button[type="submit"]`, `mat-toolbar[color="primary"] h2`. ### Common Material Selector Patterns ``` # Find a form field by its control name input[formControlName="name"] mat-select[formControlName="type"] mat-slide-toggle[formControlName="gateway"] textarea[formControlName="description"] # Find table column content [matColumnDef="name"] mat-cell # Find buttons by tooltip button[matTooltip="Search"] # Find a specific tab mat-tab-group mat-tab (by index or label text) # Find menu items (after opening menu) button[mat-menu-item] # Find dialog actions [mat-dialog-actions] button[mat-raised-button] ``` --- ## 6. Form Structure Guide All entity detail forms extend the abstract `EntityComponent` directive (`@home/components/entity/entity.component.ts`). **Key properties:** - `entityForm: UntypedFormGroup` — the reactive form instance - `entity: T` — current entity data (input) - `isEdit: boolean` — whether form is in edit mode (input) **Lifecycle:** 1. **`buildForm(entity: T): UntypedFormGroup`** — Called in constructor. Creates the FormGroup with controls, validators, and initial values. Subscribe to valueChanges here for cascading updates. 2. **`updateForm(entity: T): void`** — Called when entity input changes. Uses `entityForm.patchValue({...}, {emitEvent: false})` to populate form without triggering change events. 3. **`updateFormState(): void`** — Called when `isEdit` changes. Calls `entityForm.enable()` or `entityForm.disable()` with `{emitEvent: false}`. 4. **`entityFormValue(): any`** — Returns `entityForm.getRawValue()` (reads disabled fields too), passed through `prepareFormValue()` (default: `deepTrim`). **Read-only pattern:** Templates use `
` to visually disable all inputs. The form group is also programmatically disabled via `entityForm.disable()`. **Saving:** Merges `{...this.entity, ...this.entityFormValue()}` and calls the HTTP service. **Common validators:** `Validators.required`, `Validators.maxLength(255)`, custom `validateEmail`. **Nested FormGroups** — `additionalInfo` is almost always a nested group: ```typescript additionalInfo: this.fb.group({ description: [''], gateway: [false], // ... }) ``` --- ## 7.
